280 million e-bikes are slashing oil demand far more than electric cars. E-bikes and scooters displace 4x as much demand for oil as all of the EVs in the world. - eviltoast

    Also, unironically, e-bikes are more fun than cars. You feel the acceleration much more on a bike than a car despite moving slower, and the breeze going by you feels pretty nice too.

    Not to mention a lot less likely to kill someone.

      I remember the first time I went about 30 mph on my conventional bike down a hill. I had so much fun, I went up the short hill again!

      I’m graduating soon and plan to reward myself with something pricey. An e-bike is a strong contender because I hate driving my car as much as I do.
